“US Army, unfortunately. During the Vietnam war. Seemed to be a pretty common attitude among NCOs and officers. Blind obedience was in. But I never heard it put so bluntly until that day.”
Bullshit, you have a personal anecdote and that is fine but that was not a common attitude.
Well, that can't be anything but BS based on your own personal anecdotes. Mine is not BS and is more than an anecdote. It was well-known and widespread.
Don't tell me you never had the blind-obedience discussion with anyone when you served, multiple times. There's a reason for that.
